Awesome video. I’ve been making beeswax candles for a few years (using
Townsend materials) and by watching this video today learned some
techniques that will make my job a LOT easier! Great idea with the slow
cooker and the wick stringing techniques.

Love the video, thank you so much for sharing !!! I do have a question for
you. I noticed you used 2lb block wax, can you use bees wax beads in place
of the blocks? Not sure if there is a difference in composition or if it is
just a difference in shapes. Thank so much

Can melted wax from burned candles be recycled and used again in newly made
candles? My candles seem to burn down fast. Is there a technique to make
them last longer? Thanks for the video. I love my kit.

I have two of your mold, I love them and make several hundred candles a
year with them for my rendezvous lanterns. Once the wax has cooled in the
mold, I allow the molds to freeze (in the freezer in the summer, outside in
winter). I have never had any crack, and not only will the candles be ready
to remove from the mold much sooner, but they remove very easily, allowing
you to omit the spray lubricant. This has always worked great for me, for
both pure beeswax as well as beeswax/tallow candles.

I made candles off and on for years and while this made making these
candles look easy their are a couple of things to know. If you use a Crock
Pot it now for beeswax candle making only. Candle making is always best
done outside it is messy. Beeswax is almost impossible to entirely wash
off, Do Not put the Crock in the dishwasher unless you like beeswax covered
dishes Many Crock Pots will not get hot enough to melt hard paraffin waxes.
I use a hot plate and a heavy pot a lid is a good

Pure beeswax is too slow burning, it won’t stay alight, it is better to use
it as an additive to the parraffin wax which burns a lot faster. You can
experiment with the quantities to get a good mix which you like, if you
want drippy candles to make a bottle look good then no beeswax, if you want
a long burning candle which doesnt drip then more beeswax.
